At one time while in the Army my German was not too bad as I was actually attached to a German unit. But Plattdeutch was way beyond what I could speak or understand. I once stayed at a Gasthaus where the proprietor's wife spoke only Plattdeutch and he had to translate for me what his frau was saying when we gathered in the evenings.
